Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 33:10

"And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them; how then can we live?" — Ezekiel 33:10 (ASV)

How should we then live? — Formerly, when the prophet had given them warning of impending judgments, the people had refused to believe: now, however, when those judgments had been realized, they despaired, and cried out, “If all this is in punishment for our sins, how can there yet be any hope for us?”
